FORMULA

a(n) = (n^2)/2-1 (n even), (n^2-n)/2-1 (n odd).

a(n) = A204557(n-1) / (n-1). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jan 18 2012

Contribution from Bruno Berselli, Jan 18 2011: (Start)

G.f.: x^2*(1+x+3*x^2-x^4)/((1+x)^2*(1-x)^3).

a(n) = n*(2*n+(-1)^n-1)/4-1.

a(n) = A105638(-n+2). (End)

EXAMPLE

a(3)=2 because if a middle row of 3 monominoes are removed from the 3 X 3, no L remains.
